Facility Notes
Although described as a six lane pool on the city's website ("website" above), the lane ropes are not set up to correspond with the striping on the pool bottom. Instead, they put up the ropes to define a two lane lap swimming area, and two lanes for water walking, with a platform to keep it shallow enough for that purpose. The remaining ~3 lanes have no lane ropes and become a "mega lane", as described in the review, below.
Facility Reviews
I trained here for a day while traveling Japan. I went on a public holiday so admission was free (otherwise it's ~¥500). Two lanes are set aside for therapy walking; two lanes for lap swimming and the rest is an open area, without lane lines, but also used for lap swimming. The water temperature was slightly warm but not too uncomfortable for serious training. There are kick boards and the mandatory cap rule is enforced, but you can rent a cap, if needed. I had one of the lanes to myself for almost an hour while there from 6 to 7 PM on a Monday (also it was a public holiday). [October, 2014]
